I know Im pretty late to be posting here, but unless Im misremembering something, Im pretty sure they are correct about the term brony being born from /b/tardsIsnt that why /co/lts hate being called /b/ronies?

Its incorrect, the term Brony was birthed from the /co/ fandom back in the twilight days, when I joined the herd in early November, the term was well in use.

When /b/ joined the fandom in mid-January is when there was a split. They started to use the term via /b/rony, and /co/ turned around and started using /co/lts.

Even love and tolerance was a /co/ slogan, but it wasn't preached or really said, it was just about everyone getting together to enjoy a girls cartoon, and to ignore trolls. Again, when /b/ got into it, it became almost a creed to them.

/co/ generally hates the term brony now a days due to how its represented from the loud sector of ponychan (aka the Love & Tolerance crowd who preach this creed very loudly).
